Engineering Project Manager

8/13 - Present

Project Management – I lead a team of engineers in 4 different time zones and coordinate information and tasks between everyone. I keep track of shifting priorities and allocate time and resources based on the most important tasks. I also contact vendors for quotes and manage part ordering for our research team.

Timeline Management – I use Microsoft Project to define work schedules, tasks, and project development which the engineering teams use as a baseline for their day to day work. I make sure items are completed on time and use Sharepoint to keep a live dashboard of the progress.

Information Management – I facilitate information between the design, engineering, lab, shipping, and software teams so that I can answer questions and use the information from each group to present updates to the board every week. I also control the release of information to non-essential parties to prevent sensitive IP information from being dispersed.

Tech Support – I manage our Windows Server 2012 and control permissions, email, users, backups, and updates for all software. I have upgraded the network to include redundant internet sources and backup power systems. I have implemented a network of wireless security cameras for on premises monitoring. I also manage the Sharepoint and Exchange servers and have built a collection of internal websites for sharing and working on documents remotely and with live editing.

Project Manager / Detailer

5/12 - 8/13

Cost Reduction – When I started, production of SEJ was 22 min/ft. When I left it was 11.5 min/ft and our output had nearly doubled. We had to open a second site for production because this product has become so profitable.

Operations Management – I maintained continual contact with contractors to ensure optimal product and delivery. Initial production was 1500 ft/month and demand was 2500 ft/ month. To keep everyone happy and on schedule, I called all customers and worked out delivery plans to ensure enough material was on hand at each site to keep crews working without delay.
